To all whom) it maycort rie 'n: I v

' Be it known that I, EMILEL GOULTRE, a

citizen of the-Republic of Franhefresiding at Alexandria, the .countyoAlexandria,

inghad to the accompanying the letters and figures of reference markedState of Virglnia, have invented certain -i-iewl; and useiiulImprovements in Tabulating Devices for Type-Writing Machines, of whichthe following is a description reference be-- drawing and to thereon.

My'invention relates to tabulating devices for, typewriting machines,and is articularly adapted for use in connection wit t pewritingmachines of what is known as, t e Remington type. v

The-object Of'iih invention is to provide in simple and efficient formdevices adapted to -be attached to a typewriting machine, or

used in connection therewith, for tabulaling work. While theinvention'is particularly intended to be so constructed that it maybereadily attached to and detached froma typewriting machine, withoutchange of such structed machine in any manner, it may. also. be con- Ias a permanent part of such ma chine. I

A further object of my invention is to provide a device for tabulatingpurposes, in. which by single operation of a key, the car-.-, riage isreleased and b oughtv to 'arstop in proper-position to print the firstfigure of the number to be written, so that units of the lview partly insection showing the stop carried by the carriage; Fig. 5 is aperspective Y view of the stop carried the carriage; Flg. 6 is a detailVIP/W 0t the'diflerent'ial device; Fig. 7 is a detail view of thenotched bar of the diflerential device; Fig. 8' is a plan view of thedifferential device; Fig. 9 is a'de'tail view partly in sectionshowinga1 modified form of stop bar Fig- 10 shows the. stop bar and stop incross section and side view, and Fig. 11' shows the stop barIand washersin tail perspective view of the lever which transmits longitudinalmovement'- to the tabulating stop bar. 2

Various parts are omitted or broken away in some of the views for thesake of clearness. Referringto the parts by reference numeral, 1 is theframe of a'typewriting machine of the Remington type; 2 is one of theprinting keys; 3 is t e carriage; 4 the carriage rail; 5. the pinion'of.the escapement, and 6 the rack bar carried bythe carriage; 7 is therearwardly extending arm connected with the rack which, in thetypewritin machine 4 is arranged to come in contact-wit margins. stops,carried by-the'. stop bar; 8 are the In extending upward from the toplate df t 6 machine 1n rear of the carriage, w 'ch, as the machine isordinarily arranged, sup rt the stop bar and guide rod 8 (F1 2)., heconstruction so far described is t at'of the typewriting machines, ofthe ordinary Remington type, and are shown onlyso far as is necessary toenable the construction and ar rangement of my invention to beunderstood.

It will-be understood that the pinion 5 is part of. the carriage feedingmechanism common to the. Remington machine and that said carriagefeeding mechanism is operable in a known manner by the printing keys 2to feed thecarria'ge a letter space distance at a time in printingdirection.

, for holding'the ends 0 I tion on the lugs 8, I em loy brackets 10aving in their upper ends earings 1 1, in which is mounted. a tabulatingstop bar, 12, the construction being such that the stop bar 12 may be-slid lengthwise in its bearings butmay not be rotated therein. This barmay Instead of the clamps lerdinairily elmployed. t e gui e ro in osibea notched bar of ordinary form ada t'ed to receive colunm stops 13 asshown in ig. 4. I prefer, however, to use a column sto bar and stops ofthe construction indicate in i s. 9, 10 and .11, in which the. bar 12 iscirc ar in cross section with ends of less diameter than its mainportion with awide longitudinal notch 12, formed from end to end of themain ortion of the bar. main portion of t e bar are mounted a series ofstops 13 arranged to have a limited move- 3- ment of rotation on the stobar -to bring their projections 13f'into a out of operating posit on,This rotary movement is limcross section and side view.- Figi12 is adeitedby means of aninwardly projectinglug of the reare provide arockingmember compris' 13 which extends into the notch 12, so that the sides ofthe notch serve as abutments to prevent the stops from being rotatedexcept through an 'arc determined by the width of t 1e notch carried onthe sto bar. Between the stops andalternating wit them throughout thelength of the stop bar are laced nonrotary washers 14 having inwar lyrojecting lugs 14: whichare made of the in 1 width of the notch, thuspreventing the possibility of these washers turning on the stop bar.

Secured to the rearwardlyextending arm 7 is a rearward extension '15preferably having its rear end bent'over, as indicated at 15. A couplingmember or clamp 15 C-shaped in cross section and carrying a clampingscrew 15 may be employed to secure the extension, 15 to the arm 7. Thecon ling mem her is first arranged to embrace th ping portions of thearm 7 and extension 15, and then the screw 15 may be tightened to clamthe parts together. Secured to the rear bar of the carriage 3 is an arm16 carrying a movable sto' 17. This movable stop 17 is dpivoted at 18,to the arm 16'and is rovide in its head with a slot 19 through W 'chpass headed screws 20 which secure it to the arm. 16 and permit it to beturned on its pivot to bring its rear end into position to strike acolumn stop carried by the stop bar 12. The stop has a rearwardlyextending arm 21 preferably with its end bent over, as shown at 21. Aspring 22 secured at one end-to the arm 16 and at its free end bearingagainst the rearwardly extending arm 21 serves to hold the stop 17normally out of position to engage a column stop.

It will be understood that the extension 15 may be formed integrallywith the arm 7 if preferred and the arm 16 carrying the movable stop 17may be formed on orermanently secured to the back bar of t e carriage.In order to adapt my invention for attachment to machines now in use theextension 15a'nd the arm 16 are made detachable and the arm 16 isarranged to be adjusted by means of a slot 16 and screws 16 by which itmay be secured to the back bar of the carriage.

It will be understood that the depression of the rear end of the arm 21will cause the stop 17 to be moved into position to contact with thestop 13 and the depression of the rear end of the extension 15 willraise the rack bar 6 out of contact with the inion 5 to release thecarriage and permit it to be carried forward by its feed mechanism untilstopped by. the. stop 17 striking a column sto ' I or the p 'ose ofefiecting the depression rid of the arm 21 and the depression of therear' end of the extension 15, I

, a rod 24 carried by arms 25 and 26 pivote to the brackets 10, said rodbeing adapted to be e overlap-- moved eccentrically about "the pivots ofthe arms 25 and 26'. 'Said pivots are designated res ectivelyby thenumerals 25 and 26. It will be noted that the bar or rod portion 24'of'the rocking member does not turn about its own longitudinal axis butturns about an axis which passes through the pivots 25 and 26. The baror rod 24 may therefore be said to be an eccentric part, that is, a partarranged externally or eccentrically of or away from-the axis aboutwhich it turns. The lefthand arm 26, as shown inFig. 3 has a forward anddownward extension 26 to the end of which is pivotally connected theupper end of an arm 27, the lower end of W ch is adjustably connected toa bar 27 extending from side to' side of the machine and pivotallyconnected at its ends to arms 28 pivoted at their opposite ends toclamps 29 secured to the sides of the frame 1.

In typewriting columns of numbers it is,

of course essential that units of the same order shall come in thesame'vertical line and.

the first figure of the number to be written may belong to the units,tens, hundreds, or other line. It is desirable in order that units ofthe same order may be written-in proper line that the column stop shouldbe so placed that it shall determine the position of the decimal pointif numbers indicating dollars and cents are t bewritten or the lowestorder of units, if numbers not indicating dollars and cents are to bewritten. In order to provide for writing the first figure of the numberto be written, in proper position relative to the column stop, I haveprovided means for shifting the position of the stop bar and the columnstops carried thereby. The means which I have provided for this purposecomprises a series of differential keys 30, preferably arranged in frontof the key board and marked respectively 0,1 '(units), 10 (tens),(hundreds), 1,000 (thousands), 10,000 (ten thousands), 100,000, (hundredthousands), 1 000,000 (millions). These keys are pivoted on a-snaft 31carried by clamps 32 secured te -side of the frame 1 and. are

held in normal position by springs 33 secured to a bar 34 carried byclamps 35 secured to the sides of the frame 1. The key levers of thekeys are arranged to be fitted between the key levers of the keys 2 ofthe keyboard of the machine and their rear ends 30 are arranged to moveup and down in slots formed in the outer plates of the differentialdevice. The differential device comprises a fixed and a movable member,the movable member being arranged to be acted on by the differentialkeysbeing so connected to the tabulating stop bar that by its movementthe stop bar will be moved to the right, that is in a direction oppositeto the direction of feed of the carria e, a distance depending 'upon thedifierentia key operated in order to stopgthe carriage in properposition for v printing the first-figure of the member to be written.

'The iixed member of the differential mechanism consists preferably of apair of parallel plates 40 suitably spaced apart'to carry a slidingplate 41 between them and guide it in its movement. The plates 40, orone of them, are secured by clamps to the frame of the machineand areprovided with slots 42. at right angles to the longitudinalline of theplates which are adapted to receive and guide the ends of thedi'flerential keys. The,

sliding plate 41 is provided witha series of' diit'erential slots 43each having one side at right angles to the longitudinal line oftheplate and the opposite side inclined at such angle that as the end ofthe ,key levers of the differential keys are forced into the slots 42 Vtheytwill act upon the .sliding plate to cause it to move a distancedepending upon the particular key operated and the inclination of theside of the'slot 43 into which the end of the lever of that key enters.A slot 44 with both sides at right angles to thelongitudinal line of theplate is provided as shown in Fig. 7, at the right of the figure intowhich i the end of lever of the zero key enters;

The sliding plate 41 is pivotally connected referably at the rightof'the machine, toa ever 45 pivoted at 46 to a plate 47 secured by aremovable clamp or otherwise to the,

frame of the machine. This lever 4,5 is bent or curved as indicated inFig. 2 so as to extend above the plate of't'he machine, preferablypassing upward beyond the outer edge of the top plate, and at its upperend is provided with a slot 48 through which a pin or screw 49 extendsconnectingthe end of the lever with the tabulating stopv bar. It willthus be seen that movement of the sliding plate 41 t ough the lever 45transmits movement to the tabulating stop bar in a direction op-ipositeto the direction of feed of the carriage,

the extent of this movement being determined by the movement given tothe sliding the rod 24 to be depressed, pressing down the end of theex'tension 15 and simultaneously pressing ,down the end of the arm 21,thus raisingltherack bar 6 to release the carriage from t e escapementmechanism and causing the endof the movable stop 17 to be brought intooperative position to engage a column stop. During this movement-thespring 22 resists-the depression of the arm 21 and thus causes it to acton the rod 24 as a-b'rake to retard the carriage after the latter hasbeen freeddrom. the escapement or letter space feeding devices. If thezero key is operated no movement will be-given to the sliding.

plate or the stop bar, the operation of the key serving-only to eiiectthe release of the carriage and move the. end-of the movable stop intopositionto engage the col pmn stop; As soon as the difiierentialkey isre eased the rack bar ydrops into engagement with the pinion of theescapement mechanism and the movablestop is returned to normal Iposition by its spring 22permitting the carriage to be fed forward asthe keys of the ty e'writing machine'are operated. If on'eof t edifferential keys, other thanthe zero key, is 'oper' ated .its end 30 asit enters and passes u ward in its slot 42 will, byits action on t einclined sideof its slot 43 in the sliding plate, '7 cause theslidingplate to move to the left which through the lever 45, willcause'the stopbar to move to the right to move the column stop: one, two or morespaces to the right according to the differential key operated so thatthe carriage will be stopped by the contact ofthe movable stop 17; withthe column stop in proper position :to print the first figure of thenumber to be written.

It will be-notedthat the shaft on which the differential keys arepivoted, the bar carrying the springs which hold these keys in normalposition, the fixed plate of the ditl'erenj tial mechanismdzhe armswhich carry the bar on which differential keys act to effect the re- 5lease of the carriage and the movement of the mo vable stop, as well asthe lever which con- IOO nects the sliding barof the difl erentialnechanism to the stop. bar, are all arranged to be secured to the frameof the machine by removable clamps, and the extension 15 and the armwhich carries the movable stop are also each arranged to be securedfinposition by clamps, so that all of these parts may be secured inposition without the necessity for.

in any way making any change a type- Writing machine as constructed forbrdinary typewriting, and the stop bar brackets 10 may be. securedinplace without other change than the mere removal'of, the sci'rewswhich hold the guide bar in position, these brackets. when secured in"osition serving to hold the guide bar in p ace. The device is thusadapted to. be attached tomachines in use with .very little trouble andwithout requiring special skill.

described as held inflplace by removable clamps may be permanentlysecured in place. g

The spring 22 is preferably of such strength as to press the end of. thearm 21 firmly upward so as toot'fer considerable re rod 24'so that whenthis'ro'd- .is'depressed, there will be considerabld iriction between itand. the end the. arm, thus Of course if desired the various partsrabo ve sistance to the depression ofthis arm by the checking the movrhentofthe carriage when released from the escapement mechanism and preventingthe shock whichfwofuld otherwise result from; the release of the carriae and the momentufm with which its movable stop would be brought againstthe column I do not desire to be limited to the precise form andarrangement above described asit is obvious that changes in form andar-,
